rpxrEssEE BOARD OF HEALTH.

Gov. Bate, in his late message, was
careful to call the attention OF the
Legislature to the State Board OF
Health as an institution OF especial
importance to this State. Its preser-
vation and well being is particularly
valuable to Memphis. In case epi-
deinic should break out where there
was danger Of reaching this city, in
stead OF being the prey OF uncertain
rumofs we can always depend upon
the Board Of Health obtaining and
making known the real facts, and
when anxiety is caused at any time by
false intelligence the Board is always
ready TO save the community from
unnecessary f,Srs and alarms. At the
present time cholera ia raging in Bie-
nos Ayres ard other portions Of South
America, and the Board may prove a
very valuable requisite in cass the
disease should spread in the direction
of the United States, a quite possible
thing in view Of the large body
o! laboreB now at work in the
very unhealthy climate Of the 18TH
mus, where the Panama railroad ID
constructing. Our State Board has
gained high reputation on account
OF It's vigilance and efficiency. Some
OF the counties and number OF towns
OF the State, have such boards, all Of
which are keeping watchful super
vision over the heat OF the State,
particularly in localities where watch
iulness is especially required. As
necessity arises, the S ate Board issues
circulars OF warning and instruction
for the prevention Of the spread OF
disease. It's monthly bulletin calls
attention TO the influence OF varying
conditions Of climate upon the public
health, aud makes known what forms
OF sickness are, or threaten to be,
prevalent. 1t also keeps, as far as the
means are given it, a register OF
deaths, and makes known the proper
ton OF deaths per Thousands valus-
BILE indicator Of the general con-
dition OF the public health.
The Governors message very
wisely points out to the Legislature
that there Is no law in our State pro-
viding for proper collection and pre-
servstion Of vital statistics. The deathn
throughout the State should be accu-
ratsly registered, with the color, age,
sex and cause Of death. Such regis.
ter would each year become more val
liable, and the comparisons II would
supply would call the attention
Of the boards Of health to the causes
Of increasing death rate In times to
arouse vigilance. Marriages should
also be faithfully registered as they
are indirectly OF use TO the boards Of
health, as we'll as directly valuable for
legal purposes.

The Rapidity Of Progress Toward
Health,

Even when good remedy for disease is So
IeetSd, depends In some measure upon the
manner In which IL Is taken. Irregular, in-
tsrrupted doses can afford no fair test Of the
efficacy Of any medicine. however salutary.
Taken In proper doses at prescribed inter
walls, a reliable curative will effect tho object
Of is use. Among remedies which, syste N.
atioally and persistently used, accomplish
Thorough and lasting cures, and prevents the
recurrsnce Of periodic disease, Hostetter's
stomach Bitters ranks specially hish. In
cases OF dyspepsia, debility. rheumatism,
fever snd Rgue, liver comp amt, inactivity
other organic maladies, IL Is a tried remedy,
10 which the medical brotherhood have lent
their pro essio 0 al sanction, and which, as a
tonic, Alternative and sshold specific for
has an unboundsd popularity.

VIENNA, January 20.-The negc a.

THE BANK CIRCULATION PROB
LEM.

One OF the most perplexing prob
lens Of the dOy is-what Is to be done
about the circulation Of national
bank notesP They have hitherto
been secured by the 90 per cent. Of
government bonds deposited. Those
bonds are now insufficient for the
purpose, and soon they will 90 out Of
existence altogether. Ii those banks
are 10 be continued in existence, with
authority to circulate notes, what
kind OF security for those notes can
be substituted for the vanquishing
government bonds1 The bankers
generally would like to have the pay
ing Of the national debt delayed upon
. portion Of that debt, that portion
paying low interest; say 2 per cent,
the bonds for which shall be accepted,
as the present ones are, as security for
the circulation. Whether the govern.
ment has power TO borrow money and
pay interest upon II, however low, for
the accommodation OF men who
would receive that interest, is a
question. But II is no question
that the people will not consent
to the retention Of any portion
oil the public debt; that, they demand,
shall be paid of and done with. II is
a relic Of the war there is no desire to
preserve. Various schemes are pro-
posed. The Comptroller OF New York
advocates q system Of free banking
upon the bonds OF any State which has
not repudiated within ten years, the
bonds to be guaranteed by the general
government, municipal and county
bonds also to be accepted when guar
anteed by the States. The national
government guarantees the State, and
the State guarantees the municipsli-
ties, This is too much like the theory
that says the earth is supported on
the shoulders Of giant, the giant
stands upon tortoise, what the tor
toise stands upon the theory does not
define. The securities for bank clrcu.
lstion must be something that can at
once be turned into cash when re-
CURED, This quality Of rapid trans
formation, State, county and municipal
bonds do not possess, and no giant

TIE PRICE OF sILyER.

The Salt Lake Tribune is in fit OF
Joy because the price Of silver has
risen-a mere result Of conditions Of

claims that silver is ass srting ITSELF 30
that "the utmost yield that the mines
can be made to give will no. begin to
keep pace with the swelling waves OF
business" Silver has declined little

20 cents less thsn the dollar passes for

THE SOUTHERN CANNING BUsI-
MEAS

Our agriculturists arc in many
places paying attention to the cultiva'
ton Of fruit as an addition to their
cotton crop. aud as useful as bringing
in money at a time just before the
cotton is ready for market; when
ready each comes in very acceptably.
As fruit remains over when the North
begins to have supply OF It's OVID,
these farmers learn that to dispose Of
their later ripening fruit they must
can It and sell 1t In that form. The
same thing holds true with vegetables,
and the Southern liz, Stock Jo,und!
says that Gin some sections of the East
ern States there are farmers who make
$50, $50, and even as high as 500 and
500 per acre. raising early sweet corn
for canning purposes. The South
needs canning factories and needs
them bad. She needs not one or
dozen, but hundreds. Why don't she
have them2 Simply because the can
ming factory is business but
little known among our peo-
pie and capital is shy Of
new industries" The South ia

the necessity Of avoiding loss iusures
the adoption OF the canning business,
especially from such considerations as
the Journal presents in the following:
"Think Of the hundreds Of thousands
OF dollars worth Of canned fruits and
vegetables imported into the South
annually and here consumed! And
yet the South Is the natural home Of
almost every variety and description
OF fruit and vegetable in this country.
With cheap lands and labor and
everything in our favor, We see
no canned goods from the cot
ton States upon the shelves OF
our merchants. This does not speak
we'll for our intelligence" True,
but necessity is an imperious master,
and as we are growing early fruits aud
vegetables for the Northern markets
necessity will drive us to can the over
plus. Necessity has already produced
this result In some parts OF the South,
and we read that "around New Or
leans, both in Louisiana and Missis-
sippi, a number OF csnneries have been
established during the last few years,
which have shipped North and West
a large number Of delicacies, oysters,
shrimps, preserved oranges and sim

Long and Short Haul.

OhDEhS VI Idh 1NT6HSTATE COMMISSION.
The Interstate Commission, late Saturday after
noon, made an order suspending for seventy five
days on the Northern Pacific, Southern Pacific,
AtchisOn, Topeka and Santa Fe, and St. Louis and
San Francisco Railroads, the fourth section Of the
interstate law, with proviso that intermediate
QocaD rates shall not be raised above those In force
April 20. In connection with this order the Com
mission made public an Official Invitation calling
upon all persons interested in the fourth section to
make known their complaints in order that all In
terests may be heard before the final action OF the
Commission In reference to the clause is taken. At
the same time the roads called upon to prepare
and adopt tariffs which shall attempt to meet in
good faith the requirements Of the act.
The Commission declined to suspend the fourth
section for certain New England roads that were
represented by Mr. c. P. Clarke on the ground that
the board had not had sunctent time for consider
alton. A further hearing will be granted.
The long ana short haul clause was temporarily
suspended as to passenger TRAFFIC on the Rome,
Watertown and Ogdensburg road between stations
where there Is competition with the Grand Trunk
Line.
In the matter Of the Boston export trade and
the petitions asking permission to pay rebates to
shippers OF goods to Boston for export Judge Cooley
rendered an exhaustive opinion, saying that the
commission mad no power to grant the relief, but
that such rebates, II important, and only for the
purpose OF protecting the Boston export trade,
were perfectly legal.
